Topic: Terminator (2019) (Read 41775 times)

The next Terminator movie is currently filming and is set for a November 22nd, 2019 release. James Cameron is producing, with Tim Miller (Deadpool) directing. The story is a continuation from Terminator 2, which will retcon the pre-exisiting sequels to said movie.

What are your thoughts? Personally, I wish that they'd just leave well enough alone. Yet, I'm inclined to think that this may well be a marked improvement upon Terminator 3, Salvation and Genisys. That's not saying much though.

I will enjoy this only if modern day Edward Furlong and Arnie are cast, wheezing and waddling around, struggling to get up on motorbikes, soiling their underwear and just giving up saying fuck it I can’t run anymore, Robert Patrick just knife me in the head with your long sharp hands.

it's a fucking terrible idea to keep thrashing around with the same characters & to try to undo the dead-horse-flog of the franchise. there will never be a better scifi/horror movie than the first one, though the second was a great flick too. that's where it should've stopped.

that said, I enjoyed the almost-70s-style tv show*, which filled the gap between the second movie &... well, who knows? what's regarded as canon now?

I wish 'terminal salivation' had been done properly (i.e. no HBC for a start), & that the one with the vet & the one with phil collins had never happened.

I agree but if they absolutely insist on making more Terminator movies, then I wish that they'd return to the series' horror roots. Likewise, if they absolutely must have Arnold Schwarzenegger back for a sequel, then have him play the bad guy again. At least that would feel somewhat novel at this point. Still, the best course of action would be to simply not bother at all, of course.

The Sarah Connor Chronicles had some potential, pretty daft but got the spirit right and I think it’s a shame they axed it. I’m guessing it was axed because Terminator Salvation was going ahead and the studio didn’t want them clashing?

I must say I am curious about this new movie, the same way I am curious about all the sequels. It’s fascinating how many botched first films of unmade new trilogies they can keep churning out.

They should do my idea where its like the original Terminator but the entire film is just the part where he's bare and you see a bit of willy as he walks around.

That would be a good twist. A Terminator Genisys style “what if” story where the scenario is “what if the T-800 was never able to get clothes on that first day?”

Do you reckon he would spend the rest of his mission time trying (and failing) to sort out clothes for himself, or would he give up on that and do the mission nude? Maybe those alternatives could get a film each.

So Sarah Connor has aged as you’d expect in the last twenty odd years but little Eddie Furlong/John Connor is exactly the same age (if not slightly younger than) he was in 1991? How the fuck does that work? Time travel? LEAVE IT!

He would continue and fail to find clothes for the whole film. Not a comedy, but some big laughs.

Is he trying to get Sarah Connor, or does that objective not kick in due to a lack of clothes?

I am asking whether he is spending the film nude and trying to get Sarah Connor, or nude and contriving an endless number of failed methods to steal people’s clothes, like a clothes-obsessed Wile E. Coyote.

The latter, but like I said its not a comedy. You can't have a film these days where a nude cyborg chases an elderly woman for 2 hours, not in the current political climate.

It's set in 1995 if it follows on from T2. People were more forgiving of nude men in 1995 but it's still very embarrassing for the Terminator that everyone in Los Angeles can see his willy due to his inability to find clothes. I think in one scene he finally finds clothes but when he puts them on they're much too small and they all rip and yet again everyone can see his bum and willy.

Yes I guess Sarah Connor would be elderly by 1995.

In the scene where the clothes rip it’s really important for the T-800 not to do any kind of vexed face. I hope the director communicates this to Schwarzenegger. He tends to do a lot of gurning nowadays unless he is explicitly told not to.

Yes, it has to be played totally straight otherwise it would spoil it, the gurning started as early as T2 and he should stop. Terminators never gurn, its in their protocols.
